Proof Needed

Last night I was woken by Ethan's cries and went to the monitor to determine whether or not I needed to go into his room. I stood there for a minute watching him...and I'm not sure if my sleepy eyes deceived me but I believe I saw Ethan crawl in his crib! I knew Ben was awake too so I shouted out to him, "Ethan crawled!" He was as shocked as I was but I just wish I had proof of it. I put him on the ground tonight to try to get him to do it again but he just laid there. haha oh well. Soon...very soon...my little monkey will be crawling and the gates will have to be back up in my house :(

Busy

I feel like its been a while since I've posted anything in here. Alli and Ethan both have kept me on my toes lately. Ethan has been cutting 5 teeth all at one time making it 7 teeth in total. There might be two more in addition to the 5 but it's hard to tell right now. He and Alli both have been really good teethers but getting all 5 at one time has made him a little fussier and caused a lot of drainage which turned into a cough. Poor little guy can't win! I look forward to him being his happy self again soon.

Our little family is staying super busy. Ben is in his last 4 classes for his bachelors and I couldn't be more proud of him. Meanwhile he is also knocking out numerous fire training certifications at the fire commission. He's staying so busy working on trying to secure his future and I love his dedication to his dreams and to our family. We look forward to the future and when things will slow down.

More than anything, I am just thankful that fall is here and cooler temperatures have taken over!!
